After four weeks of intense voting, you voted for Lucky Soul’s ‘Lips Are Unhappy’ to be the track that we take to the top of the charts this December. (Broadcast 2000 was the worthy runner up).

You can now pre-order ‘Lips’ (which is bundled together with an exclusive, never-before-released cover of the Mud festive classic ‘Lonely This Christmas’) for a mere 40p (for non-UK readers, that’s as cheap as a download can be and still register for the charts!)

We’ve partnered with the lovely folks at Indiestore to bring you this fantastic offer, so if you want to make a stand against reality TV pop winners, Spice Girls nonsense, and all the other boring rubbish that gets in the Top Ten at this time of year, then click here now and pre-order the Last.fm-endorsed shimmying brilliance that is ‘Lips Are Unhappy’ (all profits go to charity).

Not that I like the Spice Girls in any shape or form, however all the profits from their new single goes to BBC Children in Need. I just think it’s something that should be taken into account before people criticise another very valid and more mainstream fund-raising idea.

Everybody: the track is available to pre-order, you won’t be able to download until it’s released on December 17th. As with all music on Indiestore, the download will be offered without restrictions, DRM-free and in multiple formats.

The BBC are predicting (at least on the report currently linked from their front page) that the Christmas number 1 will Leon, the X-factor winner. They mention some other contenders, but no mention at all of Lucky Soul.
